Program Comment for Army Warfighting Readiness and Associated Buildings, Structures, and Landscapes

This proposed Program Comment is designed to address and streamline the Department of the Army’s (Army) compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing regulations (36 CFR Part 800) for warfighting readiness activities. Army warfighting readiness activities include military training, testing, and industrial activities, and the buildings, structures, and landscapes associated with those activities. By implementing this Program Comment, the Army will balance its critical warfighting readiness mission with its responsibilities for preserving historic properties, while complying with NHPA Section 106 in a more efficient and effective manner.
